B.E.A.C.H.E.S. stands for “Beach Education Advocates for Culture, Health, Environment and Safety.” This name showcases our priorities for the Americas public beaches – which are cultural diversity, public health, environmental conservation and beach safety. While within the context of cultural diversity, B.E.A.C.H.E.S. is a strong advocate for designated safe, well-managed, family-friendly, clothing-optional recreation supported by on-site Naturist beach stewardship organizations and enterprises.  It is equally an advocate for an equitable shared usage of beach resources by all user groups, insofar as a particular usage is not in conflict with the four priorities of the Foundation. To achieve these ends, B.E.A.C.H.E.S. aims at establishing amicable and mutually beneficial working partnerships with government, business, law enforcement and the local community
